When I started solids back up, I decided that sweet potatoes were definitely going to be her first vegetable to try. I am a HUGE fan of sweet potatoes. I could eat one for every meal. So, of course, I thought that Avery would share my passion for them too! I do not plan on making very much of my own baby food, but I thought that this would be a perfect one to make. Bake a few for the baby food and one for me at the same time. Avery had different plans...
So ready to try them!
First bite- not so sure
...and we're done!
She was not loving them at all. She made a gagging face and literally shuddered when she ate them. She seemed so disgusted by them. I also had a bowl of oatmeal ready so I tried to trick her by feeding her a couple bites of oatmeal and sneaking some sweet potatoes in there. She was on to me and eventually would barely open her mouth so that she could taste just the tip of the spoon to see which food it was. What a tricky little girl!
So, of course, I was devastated but decided to keep at it! She decided on the second day that she liked them. I'm not sure if she had to get used to the texture or the flavor but it was a success!
Day 2- She loves them!
Avery, just wait until you can put butter or brown sugar or marshmallows on top of them! They are so good!
